#Unifi internet uptime install#
#Unifi internet uptime update#

The output should contain the magic lines: Make sure everything is working by running docker run hello-world. Reboot the PI, by running sudo shutdown -r now. Now add the user pi to the docker group, so as to avoid permissions issues later.

#Unifi internet uptime install#

Then the one line command to install Docker is: curl -sSL | sh

#Unifi internet uptime update#

So now we need to make sure the Pi is up to date: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgradeĪgree to any updates, and wait for them to install. Change the password using the passwd command. Log in to the Pi (use Terminal on OSX or its equivalent) using the credentials – username pi, password raspberry. Put the SD card in to the Pi, apply power/network (or edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_nf for wifi access) and then find the Pi on your network. Before ejecting the SD card for good make a file (even just an empty file) called ssh on the /boot volume (so that you can get in to the Pi using the command line after it has booted). (I always use the Lite version, since I never bother connecting my Pi’s to a screen or keyboard.) Use a tool like balenaEtcher to write the image you just downloaded to an SD card of your choice. First we install Raspberry Pi OS (the new name for Raspbian) then install Docker! (I’ll skip through this quite quickly, since there are a ton of detailed guides out there.)ĭownload the latest version of Raspbian from. So to get Docker working on a Pi is pretty straightforward. But, after the first Step, any instance of Docker should be fine. (Note that I prefer a config file rather than an environment file, which is suggested in the wiki).įor the purposes of this unifi-poller step-by-step I will walk through installation on a Raspberry Pi 4. The one I describe here is my favoured one – using Docker and docker-compose. So there are multiple methods of installation. The developer of unpoller, Captain, has built it in a manner which is very flexible. This is a unpoller step-by-step basic guide to installation. It’s basically a way of feeding a geeky data-hoarding habit. It collects stats from a controller of a Unifi network, puts them into a database and then displays time series. Unpoller is a lightweight program to display data from a Unifi network. Also, since I originally wrote this blog I have helped the developer set up a snazzy new set of documentation – this can be found here, has a lot more info that than this basic guide and replaces the old wiki I have changed the links and naming below, and edited the name of the article. As a result the program is now called unpoller. Update June 2021 – The developer of unifi-poller was sent a threatening letter by Ubiquiti.
